Senior Kernel Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Recruiter call and sent email to setup phone interview. Very responsive over email. Overall professional. The interviewer asked questions from the resume mainly. Tried to dig deep in specific areas I mentioned in the resume. The only out-of-resume question was how to determine if a singly linked list is finite or infinite?
